'It has received no answer. Nor will it ever.'

declasse:

For the last 12 years, a single solitary whale whose vocalizations match no known living species has been tracked across the Northeast Pacific. Its wanderings match no known migratory patterns of any living whale species. Its vocalizations have also subtly deepened over the years, indicating that the whale is maturing and ageing. And, during the entire 12 year span that it has been tracked, it has been calling out for contact from others of its own kind.

How To Get Sick:

psychotherapy:

1. Don’t pay attention to your body. Eat plenty of junk food, drink too much, smoke too much, take drugs, have lots of unsafe sex with lots of different partners – and above all, feel guilty about it. If you are over-stressed and tired, ignore it and keep pushing yourself

2. Think of your life as meaningless and of little value

3. Do things you don’t like and avoid doing what you really want. Follow everyone else’s opinion and advice. See yourself as miserable and “stuck”.

4. Be resentful and hypocritical, especially toward yourself

5. Fill your mind with dreadful pictures, and then obsess over them. Worry most, if not all, of the time.

6. Avoid deep, lasting, intimate relationships.

7. Blame other people for all your problems

8. Do not express feelings and views openly and honestly. Others won’t appreciate it. If at all possible, do not even know what you own feelings are.

9. Shun anything that resembles a sense of humor; life is no laughing matter.

10. Avoid making any changes that would bring you greater satisfaction and joy.

Do not assume that he who seeks to comfort you now, lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good. His life may also have much sadness and difficulty, that remains far beyond yours. Were it otherwise, he would never have been able to find these words.
— Rainer Maria Rilke (via psychotherapy) (via beckie)

Four be the things I am wiser to know:
Idleness, sorrow, a friend, and a foe.

Four be the things I’d been better without:
Love, curiosity, freckles, and doubt.

Three be the things I shall never attain:
Envy, content, and sufficient champagne.

Three be the things I shall have till I die:
Laughter and hope and a sock in the eye.
- ‘Inventory’, Dorothy Parker
